I keep coming back to this. For all my god given gifts, talents and strengths i consider myself to be weak a lot of the time. There are so many things i need to work on. And for some of those things it feels like i try and try and just can never improve. I want to be free of some of my struggles. I feel like i cant drop them no matter how much effort i put into them. This talk helps me to remember that god still loves me and that i need to keep practicing and learning.

Well, you reacieved this kind of counseling at 63.. Whats age have to do with it? Gods grace doesn’t expire when you turn 20. He blesses you with it for a lifetime here on earth and for all etirnity. I was 35 when I came back to church. best decision in my life!! It took me so long to come back because I didn’t understand grace either. It took me going to church for a year straight before I finally got up the courage to talk to my Bishop ( theres no rush on that either). 2 months after talking to the Bishop, I was in the temple getting my own endowments. I cry just about every day for two reasons. One being, I can feel my saviors love surrounding me almost always. And two, thinking of all that time I missed out on feeling my saviors love. If I can find my way back to church then anyone can. You got this brother! You wont regret it. Thats a promise! good luck. Im rooting for you!! 🙏

This talk has literally changed my life for the best since my wife showed it to me a year ago. Grace is finished. We can either find the humility to accept it through following commandments and holding the Saviors hand through it all or we can reject it by persuing our own pride and depending soley on our own intelect. Sincerest love to anyone in the pursuit of accepting grace.

I’m so sorry for your loss and I know that God hears your prayers and he loves his children no matter how much we miss the mark…. I believe this life IS pure hell on earth without the love and hope of Jesus Christ. I thank God for sending his son to die for us all at the young age of 33. God could only do this with the most love because he designed us like himself, as spiritual beings to have a temporary human experience and find love and meaning in all the suffering on earth …. but most of his children fall short and that is why I believe god sent his only son to save us from the darkness of human suffering or a life without the love of Jesus. I believe God has her precious heart and she’s no longer suffering but comforted by his unconditional love 💕 Bless you my sister in Christ!🙏

The atonement is infinitely beautiful.

Let's just say with 50+ years of experience and this talk resonates with me; many...many...many times during my life I have felt like quitting, alone, unworthy, and unprotected. This 30mins of this talk has me understanding why perseverance and enduring through trials is worth every difficult moment, it also helps me understand how I got to the end of the many...many...tunnels of trials. Jesus Christ. Young or Old take your life and move it forward, Christ is with us every step along the way.

I believe that everything I come across is for a reason, hearing this Talk was something I really needed. Hopefully it touched and inspired you as much as did me. Indeed these are true words being spoken. God loves us all and wants us to return to him and we should make use of his greatest blessing.

2023, Sunday morning right before going to Church. I love this talk so much and I wish the members of my Ward could take the time to listen to it. Every time I get to address them, I throw parts of it so they get to understand Grace.

Brother Wilcox, just 2 words... Thank You.

I love this talk! Nothing has made the atonement more real and understandable for me. Thank you, Brad Wilcox!

Let me be direct and clear. The answers to the questions “Am I good enough?” and “Will I make it?” are “Yes! You are going to be good enough” and “Yes, you are going to make it as long as you keep repenting and do not rationalize or rebel.” The God of heaven is not a heartless referee looking for any excuse to throw us out of the game. He is our perfectly loving Father, who yearns more than anything else to have all of His children come back home and live with Him as families forever. He truly gave His Only Begotten Son that we might not perish but have everlasting life . . . I love the way President Gordon B. Hinckley used to teach this principle. I heard him say on several occasions, “Brothers and sisters, all the Lord expects of us is to try, but you have to really try!” -- Elder J. Devn Cornish of the Seventy -- General Conference October 2016

I just listened to him yesterday at a preist/laurel conference. His talk was directed at us youth. I wasnt to sure about going to it but im sure glad I did. :) His talk was so engaging and not for a second was boring. If I had the opportunity to go to listen to the same exact talk he gave I would in a heart beat!

Everyone needs to see this video. Such, hope, such wisdom and such truth is in it. I will visit this video often when I think I'm falling short of what Jesus wants from me.

Brother, your talk today, has inspired me, as a woman, who will practice Grace. To feel, understand and know that God loves each of us. No matter what. How we show our love to him, in simple acts of intention. To exercise our spirit testimony. I find Grace is the answer. God is the answer. May the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, Gods grace be with you. Each and every moment. I realize it’s much easier to be loyal. Living, in , the teachings of Jesus Christ. Of the lords plan . He makes no mistakes, We only need to practice…. I love this thought. 🙏🏼🌍

There is a phrase I found somewhere else which helped me immensely. I don't remember who said it, or the exact wording but it is this: "Sanctification is a process, not an event". You set your course, and if a wind comes along and blows you off course, you just swing around and resume from where you are. That is key: Christ will take you, wherever you are, and whatever you've done. He will do it over and over again. However don't expect to stay the same if you take up his name. He will mold you to be like him, eventually.

I am a father of four and sometimes I feel the same though they are great kids. I hope that after all something has entered their hearts, most probably not the words but the unspoken messages When I feel angry about something they do, even to me, I have to remind myself that this anger would only push them away from me and perhaps even from the gospel. I rather try to understand why they behave like that and give them more love. Jesus helps me by his example: perfect love in spite of standing up for the truth.

This is one of the best talks about the "Grace of Jesus Christ"

The greatest explanation of Grace ever

Christ is the only difference. I know that if I keep the covenants with him and his Father I will be redeemed by him and gain eternal life and exaltation with my wife. All of us can receive this blessing through the Christ's atonement.

God's Grace! We cannot be saved without it.

One of my favorite speeches. I've listened to this multiple times.

This is one of the best talks I have ever heard!

oh my heart. What a giant of a person!

I really needed to hear this talk. Thanks Brother Wilcox!

This really is the best talk I have ever heard on grace. It is so easy to feel like a failure...like we can never be good enough. How comforting to be reminded that we can't, and that it is okay. All we can do is to keep practicing.

Hearing this talk 2 years ago made ALL THE DIFFERENCE for me. As I have shared this with so many I have reminded them, "We always teach that this is a gospel of hope." For so many adults and youth this talk (and Elder Cardon's, 4/13 Conference) is the very hope we look for every day. Today we hope, tomorrow we believe and someday we know (Elder Holland, 4/13 Conference). Hold onto the hope that this talk gives!

Years ago..i member of the Baptist church near Pacita San Pedro Laguna Philippines..approachedme and asked...have you been saved Brother? I learned latter that they have this 3 foot rule..To ask anyone and everyone this golden question as they come in contact with them within 3 feet...i wish i could be as valiant as they are proclaiming to the world not only salvation by grace but the fullness of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Im grateful i stumbled upon this video on youtube and hope and pray that i can share it to Archie Robles and Edgar Gravoso and Pastor Jeff Pabuaya my friends who are members of the Baptist church.

WHAT AN AMAZING TALK.

What an amazing conversation!!! Thank you. God led me to this post. I finally got it!!!!

So easy to forget how Grace works. I love the simple, but loving way he explains it.

this is such an amazing devotional

Wonderful speech. Very clearly lays out that we do works to prepare for heaven and honor the debt which was paid for us. Thank you.

Very impresive and how wrong I was understanding the grace concept. Its a life changing speech, most of all after strugling with emotional and mental illness.🙏

I just watched this via my Pathway professor. I loved it and will watch it again regularly. So I don't forget.

At first I thought it would be useless to watch a vidieo that my brother sent me that was 30 min long but now I know I was wrong and every second was worth it

First all of, i apologize because of my english! I Know Brother Wilcox very well. He was my mission's president in Chile Santiago Este Mission. He always lifted up us and encourageous us with his teachings and speeches... He's a very special man; it's really a man of GOD, and he has the gift to teach, to make comprehensible such basic and important doctrines for our salvation.

That was a great talk. The grace of Jesus Christ is sufficient for all of us.

This morning I turn on my face book happen to listen to the BYU speaker. I listen and enjoy Brother talk about Grace and many others about the youth. I wish all the youth would listen to his talk and parents as well. I really enjoy it.

The talk starts @ 01:34 "The Grace of Jesus Christ covers us"

Amazing talk about the Savior's power to save and redeem. His book "The Continuous Atonement" is also very worthwhile. Glad this was finally put on KZread.

Thank you, Brother Wilcox, for reminding us of the grace available now...no just when we've done well and feel worthy to ask for it.

I have not cried so suddenly or so intensely while I was listening to a talk except during this one at around 15:45. Bro Wilcox's talk gives me a feeling of hope and comfort that the Lord wants me back, in spite of all my imperfections. It's not like He can't stand my weakness, but rather, He wants a better life for me and wants to do anything He can to help me get there. I'm not sure how to better articulate my thoughts here. I'm glad I got to know Bro Wilcox and have him as my EFY lead guy once.
